Board Thread:Pokémon Help/@comment-31398341-20171026040947

I saw only a few people mentioning about competitive pokemon battle. So discussing the viability of each pokemon maybe a good idea to start doing a team :). While there are many pokemon in this game, not even half of them is usable in Battle Colosseum. Although the viability of each pokemon are not the same, those in C rank can still be very effective if used properly with good EV training and moveset.

NOTE :

-This is for singles format battle.

-Many pokemon are still not ranked here.

-If you have suggestions from unranked to ranked or rank changes, let me know.

-Irrelevant pokemon will stay unranked here.

-Some moves are unreleased, which deters many pokemon from being in higher ranks.

Some movesets based on here : http://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/pokemon/

<p style="margin:4.8pt0cm6pt;"> Btw, I made it to the leaderboard for a while under the IGN "ifiaintgotchababy", peaking at #19 with 4612 rank. :)
